Three Nepali nationals found dead at Rohtak farmhouse

Three young men from Nepal were found dead inside a room at a farmhouse located on the Kachha Chamaria road here on Thursday. A charcoal stove was found in the room. Preliminary indications suggest that suffocation might have caused their death. The bodies have been sent to the PGIMS for a post-mortem examination, which is scheduled tomorrow.

The deceased, identified as Kamal, Santosh, and Rajkumar, were aged between 22 and 30 years. They worked as cooks at an office of a property dealer and had been called to the farmhouse to prepare food for a New Year party. After the guests left, the trio retired to the room for the night, said sources.

The incident came to light when someone alerted the police control room on Thursday. Forensic experts also visited the spot and lifted some samples from there.

“We received information that three bodies were lying at a farmhouse. On reaching the spot, we found three Nepali nationals dead. Prime facie, it appears to be death by suffocation, as a charcoal stove was found in the room. They were friends and had also consumed alcohol.

He said the farmhouse belongs to a resident of the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran, Sector 34, Rohtak. The police begun probe into the matter. No formal case was registered at the time of filing this report.
